NMFC 160660 - Military Pontoon Foot Bridges | Class 100

Note 160662: NOTE-Applies on the complete assembly or unit, which includes accompanying unit tool equipment and cable.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm scope with Note 160662: use this class for military foot-traffic pontoon/raft components such as floats, decking panels, and stringers—not heavy-vehicle bridge gear.
2. Package sections in rigid crates or tightly banded bundles on skids. Block and brace cylindrical pontoons to prevent rolling, and cap any open fittings or valves.
3. Provide accurate piece count and max length/width for quoting. If sections exceed standard LTL length thresholds, pre-arrange handling or split into shorter bundles.
4. Protect against moisture and abrasion: dry components before wrapping, use edge protectors under bands, and add corrosion inhibitors for bare aluminum surfaces.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Single, fixed Class 100 simplifies rating and speeds up LTL quotes for defense projects and training site deliveries.
• Correct packaging (crated or bundled) reduces damage risk and avoids handling accessorials, lowering total landed cost.
• Clear use of NMFC 160660 minimizes reclass fees and shipment delays, supporting tight mobilization timelines.
• Bundling standardized raft modules improves cube efficiency and pallet fit, helping secure better freight rates.
